'Zombieland' screenwriters to pen 'Deadpool'

Ryan Reynolds will be Deadpool again

Following the success of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," 20th Century Fox has decided it would be a great idea to develop a "Deadpool" spinoff. Ryan Reynolds is already on board to reprise his role as Wade Wilson, and now the project has two writers!

According to Variety, Fox has hired "Zombieland" scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to write the script. The trade says they will also keep the tone of the flick close to that of "Zombieland," a horror comedy I absolutely loved. It's not clear when the project will hit production.

Reynolds, the dude from "The Proposal," will soon be seen in "Buried." He is also getting ready to shoot "Green Lantern." Reese and Wernick also penned the upcoming film "Earth vs. Moon." It looks like the two will also return for the "Zombieland" sequel.

Woody Harrelson to enter 'Zombieland'

Woody Harrelson has signed on to star in Ruben Fleischer’s upcoming horror comedy “Zombieland,” The Hollywood Reporter announced earlier today.

In the film written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Harrelson will play Albuquerque, one of several survivors who struggle to get by in a world dominated by zombies.

Reese and Wernick’s credits include 2003’s television series “The Joe Schmo Show.” As for Fleischer, this is his first big-screen project as a director.

Harrelson was last seen in “Sleepwalking.” He is currently filming “2012” for Roland Emmerich.

I say go Woody go! Now that you showed us how to play basketball, show us how to kill a zombie.

By the way, did you know Harrelson won an MTV Movie Award for the best kiss in “Indecent Proposal”?
